The Tennessee Titans face the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium. It’s the second and final meeting of the season between the two teams, and the first meeting did not go well for the Titans.
It was Cam Ward’s first divisional game, and the Titans could not get anything going. Ward was sacked four times, Tony Pollard didn’t break 50 yards rushing, and the leading receiver was Chig Okonkwo. Daniel Jones led the Colts to an easy 41-20 victory in Week 3 at Nissan Stadium.
This week isn’t expected to be much different than the first meeting. These two teams are polar opposites: the Colts lead the NFL as the only six-win team, while the Titans sit at the bottom of the league. Because of this, we’re doing prop bets a little bit differently this week. Let’s take a look at some of the best bets there are in this Week 8 matchup, per BetMGM.
Anytime touchdown scorer: 3 options
There’s no question that the Colts will have multiple players score touchdowns against the Titans on Sunday, so for this category, you kind of get to take your pick.
RB Jonathan Taylor (-400)QB Daniel Jones (+145)WR Michael Pittman Jr. (+150)
All three of these players scored against the Titans in their last meeting, Taylor doing it three times. He’s the best pick for this bet, but the other two are likely to hit as well.
Rushing yards: Jonathan Taylor OVER 75 yards (-500)
Jonathan Taylor is the NFL’s leading rusher by over 100 yards. The Titans are 29th in run defense. Taylor rushed for 102 yards and three touchdowns the first meeting.
BetMGM pre-built SGP (+500)
This particular pre-built SGP encompasses several things that are pretty likely to happen:
Spread – Colts 14.5Totals – Over 47.5 pointsDaniel Jones OVER 250 passing yardsDaniel Jones OVER 1.5 passing touchdowns
The Colts won by 21 points in the last meeting between these teams, and the point total was 61. Daniel Jones didn’t quite hit 250 passing yards and recorded one touchdown, but the Titans’ secondary isn’t great, and without Jeffery Simmons, there’s not much of a pass rush.
